A federal judge spent on Tuesday that the White House should the Associated Press participating in covering the presidential billiards, including the restoration of access to the first air force and other areas in which only some journalists are allowed to enter to speak to President Trump.
The provincial judge in the United States of America, Trefor McFaden – who was nominated for the Trump Federal Seat in 2017 – remained immediately his own order for five days, while giving the administration until Sunday to appeal to a higher court before the ruling applies.
The White House carried out the embargo after AP refused to use the term “Gulf of America” in its coverage after the president renamed the Gulf of Mexico when he took office on January 20.
The port argued that as a global port, he had the privilege of continuing to use the name “Mexico Bay”.
The wire service immediately protested the ban, and its correspondents often appeared on the assembly days prescribed in Mar Lago and other limited events in the White House-the same as those held in the Eastern Chamber and the Oval Office-to be removed only by Trump employees.
The White House journalist Caroline Levitt argued that the president’s “concession” and that the press office had the right to ban the outlets that were not compatible with the new government title for the Gulf.
However, the court ruled on Tuesday that although the White House is not authorized to provide access to every event, it is responsible for allowing reporters with the same access to similar outlets – even if they did not agree on their views.
“The court simply considers that, according to the first amendment, if the government opens its doors to some journalists – whether to the Oval Office or the Eastern Chamber or anywhere else – these doors cannot then be closed to other journalists because of their views. The constitution does not require less.”
Hundreds of correspondents have the so -called “solid pass” that allows to reach the White House surrounding room and press the work area.
A second limited group of journalists-referred to in the name of the group-is granted to more intimate or restricted events with a greater opportunity to ask the face-to-face questions.
The group decided by the White House Representative Association, until the Trump administration seized manual selection, which they could add to the gathering or remove it.
AP previously managed to reach the president’s limited events every day alongside her Reuters and Bloomberg’s colleagues.
Under the Trump administration, only one wire service is allowed in the complex every day.
After the ban, AP was not allowed to enter wire rotation.
“The court does not order the government to grant permanent access to the Oval Office, the Eastern Chamber, or any other media event. It does not grant special treatment on AP.
The White House did not immediately respond to a publication.
The Trump administration is not the first to face accusations of discrimination against the outlets based on its content.
The White House Biden adopted the process of new centers for large internal events and used the mechanism to ban the post for seven months in a row – after the bomb reports from the favorite paper in America that separate its involvement in its foreign commercial relations for his sister.
Biden aides sometimes claimed that there is no simply available space – leaving up to twenty empty press seats.
